CALLING ALL PATRONS: If you are a Patron, can you disable the orange DONATE ad?

I think having the donate button up there isn't really distracting or annoying - it's only the color, as orange differs quite a bit from grey. So if it would "fit in" it would probably not annoy people - on the other hand it wouldn't stick out - and I guess to stick out is its intended purpose.
However, if we have such a donate button on the top bar, do we still need the donate button under the community button? I would be in favor of moving that pop-up (with the cute wing) under the donate button.
But these are just my thoughts. And even if the inconsistency in color is a little annoying, it is by no means bad. Mixes it up.
You are like a Russian infiltrated in Europe asking not to send one more euro to NATO. Why do you want to defund Lichess?

That wasn't my intention. I just think that the button sticks out - and there's nothing wrong with that. I just have to get used to it - and of course I support lichess. I don't want to cause no mess here - I play and post on lichess, for a good reason.

I think you're unaware of the fact that you are talking to the Lichess God, Thibault.

Is this normal I don't have this button? Did you add it yourself?
Only non-patrons see it. Patrons are already donating so it would be weird to implicitly point out the option again.

Indeed thanks @benwerner !

Yeah since you are a patron you don't have it...if you feel the need to see it just go to lichess in an incognito window or something :)

It doesn't even work in incognito, I had to log in with an account without the patron to see it, quite the effort!
